6.3 Which Parameters are Known?
The guidelines to be followed will depend on whether the cable layout
is known or unknown. The current situation will determine which
parameters are known or not.
 If you have a known cable layout, the Tag Names and Loop
Sequence Indexes will be available. Based on this information, the
system will be able to automatically find the Production Numbers,
and connect each Production Number to the corresponding Tag
Name.
 If you have an unknown cable layout, the Tag Names and
corresponding Production Numbers will be available. Based on this
information, the system will be able to automatically find the Loop
Sequence Indexes.
6.4 Guidelines - Known Cable Layout
Step Installation Configuration Known Parameters
1
Make a detailed drawing of the
building premises, showing the
cable layout with the location
of all the different loop units.
2
Mark all Tag Names on the
drawing (at each loop unit
location).
3
Enter the cable layout (loop
topology), all loop units and all
Tag Names into the AutroSafe
Configuration Tool.
At this point the system
knows both the Tag
Names and Loop
Sequence Indexes.
4
Print out the list of all Tag Names.
5
Do the installation according to
the drawings.
6
Mount each loop unit at its
respective location.
For verification only: remove
and paste the sticker with the
Production Number in its
correct position on the list,
beside the corresponding Tag
Name.
When all loop units are
mounted, the system
will know all three
parameters.
Regardless of whether the cable layout is known or not, the
Tag Names that are to be used for each Loop Unit location
should always be marked on the drawings and entered into
the Configuration Tool.
